00:00Take me to Arrowhead, and they got within 16-13, whenever it was, early in the fourth

00:09quarter.

00:10Obviously, I know Carr went down, but they were in that game as well, and then that happened,

00:18and then they were kind of dead to rights.

00:19Yeah, but I'll tell you what, though, Scott.

00:23Monday night was basically, essentially, they played a better team.

00:28Kansas City played better in every phase of the game, and even when the Saints pulled

00:32close, you know, they pulled it within 16-13, and they pulled it within, I think, 10-7 earlier

00:37in the game.

00:38It felt as if Kansas City could flip the switch and get points when it needed to.

00:44Really, it looked like the difference between a team that has won the last two Super Bowls

00:48and a team that is trying to find its footing and feels like it can be good but hasn't really

00:54found all the things that's necessary to be a good team yet, because Kansas City just

01:00kind of, I don't want to say meandered around, but Kansas City in that game did what it had

01:05to do to win it.

01:06Kicked field goals, even though it was 2-7 in the red zone, and ran the football effectively.

01:11Even though Pat Mahomes threw an interception in the end zone, he was a rascal in terms

01:16of being able to get to him and get the dude on, it's almost impossible to get that dude

01:20on the ground, to get him on the ground.

01:23It was one of those games where the Saints, yeah, they pulled it within 16-13, but immediately,

01:30Kansas City takes the next drive and scores a touchdown.

01:32Juju Smith-Schuster catches a 50-yard touch, catches a run, just kind of gutted the defense

01:40because you feel like you're making some progress, and they hit you for an explosive play.

01:46It was one of those where it always felt like Kansas City was one step ahead of the posse,

01:51and just one step ahead.
